Incluso —quizás especialmente—en inglés todavía estoy luchando por encontrar palabras para capturar el Untergang —el nihilismo moral. Todas mis palabras se sienten inadecuadas. Hemos pasado de un desprecio casual por la vida de otras personas a un sadismo performativo.

Autumn is a season of falling—Dalí transforms this into ascent.

In Christ in Perspective (1950's), death and decay becomes design, shaped into a triangle (trinity) and circle (infinity). This symbolizes Dalí’s ‘atomic mysticism’—matter opening to spirit.🧵👇 #artbots #dali

That recipe is making a comeback in Belgium, and it scares me, it feels like yet another sign of the end times. I wish they would channel their vintage nostalgia in another direction. Talk to them.
